Guess a lot of it is in the eye of the beholder... and yes, seems like he could afford it. And yes, my guess is that in the eyes of many people he behaved like an addict and the consequences were not positive, therefore, confirming the conclusion. I do follow a similar criteria in my own...

You seem to think that for ASRs, using vinyl is about sound... I have the full monty Waves package - not once I have used the vinyl or tape hiss plugins for anything. Spend most of my time with Arturia stuff (full monty package as well).

A "like" does not convey feelings - sorry to hear about that.

That's how interpret the tolerance in NA Meetings of coffee and maybe cigarettes (where legal, I assume); there are degrees and practical considerations. Sure, someone can suffer a lot, from let's say, Pr0n addiction. But opioids? Yeah there are degrees, specially from the point of view of...

I seem to remember replying to a similar comment from you re: the <sarcasm> "fabulous" </sarcasm> English measurement system a few months ago! :D Same answer - you believe is better because you are just used to it. It's like those people that believe headphones break in. Not really, you just...

Oh sure - But it makes sense - I have never had the arguments IRL that I had over at Hoffman, Audiophile Style, Roon forum and even here when they dare to come an try to drop the mic on us. It is, I agree, it is obviously a purely internet bickering thing. That is the reason it is dropped so...

Indeed - but, that is obviously a different thing... As I always say when I demo vinyl to friends, "It is amazing how well it works, given that all we are doing is scratching a surface with a rock!" :D

Just search Hoffman... and in fact.. well, just happened here! :D

I have said it many times (you can search and I do apologize, for being... a broken record! :D ) I call it "Argument from disinterested authority" - A variation of the argument from authority fallacy, where the authority comes from the subject's (most likely the female spouse, as indicated in...

You are right, it is an anecdotal observation. But, significant? Actually it is the opposite; it is insignificant ! An accurate description, pls understand, not a put down or an insult. An uncontrolled observation with a sample of size one is equivalent to "zero evidence". And I like vinyl...

I believe that's would be the thing they avoid the most! :D Or it might be amusing how they would rationalize having not so great hearing! :D

AH - thanks! - same point I tried to make in my previous post, but this is more succinct. That said, also gotta say that it was a surprise to all of sudden hear the name RME mentioned in this space (consumer audio). I was aware of RME back when I had my little home studio (for personal amusement...

"satisfied" is different for everyone! :D Unfortunately for many it means looking for the "better sounding" personal impression. But DACs proper are not DSPs or equalizers. Sure there might be some devices out there that include that, for mostly pro-audio purposes, I assume. We sometimes...

The only thing I expect from an expensive DAC, is that it never breaks! :D Extraordinary build, reliability, that, it's really worth paying for, IMHO.

While discussing something over at Hoffman, re: jitter, I detected someone trying to lead me on to comment so they could reply with a (serious) study he had lock and loaded re: jitter in digital circuits, caused by EMI and RFI. Somehow this person had it in his head that it was a mic drop...

If only that was the reason! Peeps keep belaboring the point because IMHO they seem to believe such "revelations" come from intellectual achievement, superior insights and supreme knowledge. Or at least that is the impression I get. That rubs me the wrong way and I feel compelled to comment...

It troubles me that almost 500 pages into the thread we are still talking advantages/disadvantages. Again, they are obvious. That said, the discussion on whether the renaissance has lost its legs is interesting, Schadenfreude notwithstanding... IMHO, of course

Think about those rigs as owning a luxury car - or a sports car in the city. It is really dumb to own those. But people get something else from it. I do hope you don't own a luxury or a sports car...

Indeed! <3 Someone over at Hoffman asked about affordable CD players. Back when I decided to come back to CD I wanted to not break the bank, so found two CD players that were very well reviewed in terms of quality, build and price. Found both an Onkyo and a Teac that were very well reviewed...

Great point (hope your ears are OK) What I wonder is where can we take/accept the loudness? Is the one coming from turning up to 11 more valid than the one from pumping and brickwalling the signal?
